‘Excellence Europe – Express’
and 8 remixes. The band have toured internationally multiple times, having performed at
SXSW, FEQ, Osheaga

have previously won the
GAMIQ prize
for the
‘Best Electronic EP of the Year’
while their latest album (
P.O.P
) was selected among 40 Canadian albums on the

.
Based in Montreal, Canada,
Le Couleur
is led by Vietnamese-Canadian singer
Laurence Giroux-Do
and consists of
Laurence
,
Patrick Gosselin
(Bass, keyboard and guitar) and
Steeven Chouinard
(Drums and sequence programming) and their live performances are bolstered by
Philippe Beaudin
(percussions),
Sheenah
(synths) and
JC
(guitar).
Le Couleur
’s own remarkable sound draws closer parallels to the likes of
Róisín Murphy, ABBA
and
Sébastien Tellier.
In the world of psychedelic disco, all thoughts fall away as the funk becomes front and centre.
Concorde
takes its name from the legendary Franco-British aeroplane from 1965, nicknamed the « beautiful white bird » for its sleek and modern design. This avant-garde project that ended in tragedy has always held a certain fascination for
Laurence Giroux-Do
; a deadly « crash » that inspired in her a sense of macabre sensuality. In the album’s music, we find vintage influences, recalling the faded charm of 70s erotica, warm tones also rooted in psychedelia, disco, yéyé, and French chanson.
‘Excellence Europe – Express’
is similar to an old advertisement for the Concorde. In this new neat and daring song, the group proposes supersonic and air-like production.
Speaking of the album,
Le Couleur
says:
“Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our Concorde album will be released on February 25th in a deluxe version to conquer the new world. Including 2 brand new songs (melancholy ballads like you’ve never heard before), remixes of Napkey, Tusks, Super Plage, Ormiston, Sainte Croix and Dur Club, and 5 live versions! We are so excited to be able to present to our UK fans our Concorde album with our full band during this 2022 Europe Tour. After all these covid years, it’s like a dream come true!”
